within another document which was served from their site (i.e. they're
checking the Referer header in the HTTP request). This is done, by
some sites, in order to prevent other sites from linking directly to
the site's content and imagery and bypassing their higher-level
document structure (a.k.a. "leeching" images).

I don't think so. The SmallNetBuilder web pile seems to have been
revised recently. It looks very different now. I'm also having
problems finding articles that I know were previously there. My
guess(tm) is that I somehow referenced an earlier version of the
article's URL, instead of the new and allegedly improved URL. Here's
the image again using the new sites URL form:
<http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/myincludes/image_page.php?/images/stories/wireless/linksys_wrt54g2_wrt110/linksys_wrt54g2v1_board.jpg>
I just tried it on a virgin web browser (on my Ubunto laptop) that did
not view the main article previously. Works for me.

What's the actual click-path needed to navigate from
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/ to the article which has this image in
it?

Well if it was assembled it can be disassembled. My guess is the
joined parts are latched. If you can figure out where you can open it
without much damage. As far as an external antenna goes, you can add
one to just about anything with either a coax and SMB plug and jack or
just a length of wire cut to an increment of 2.4 ghz.

Find the FCC ID number on the serial number sticker.
Go unto:
<http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/>
and inscribe the number into the form. It should product the FCC type
certification documentation which includes photos of the inside of the
products. That should give you a clue as to how it's assembled.

Sure. See the two coax cables in the photo above? Add RP-SMA
connectors and a pigtail and you have external antennas. Just don't
tell the FCC that I told you so.

No clue what might be wrong. Both the above URL's work for me on two
different machine. You might want to check if your web browser is
mangling or wrapping the URL or that your router, ISP, or government
is blocking access to the FCC or to SmallNetBuilder.

No mangling, The site tells me I have no permission, I presume

there is a login required.

Same here.

Look for screws hidden under the feet. After that, you should be able to
unclip the rest of the case.
